NOTES:
Hardy lines- In general, use one line weight heavier than the rod designation. i.e. if your rod is rated 8/9, it performs best with a 9/10 line
Rio lines- All Rio spey lines need to be adjusted following Rio's guidelines for customizing shooting heads.
Vision & Guideline- These lines matched the designated rod weight.
